Colorado's Indian Gulch Wildfire

NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument captured an image of the Indian Gulch Wildfire burning near Boulder, Colo. this week (depicted in the blue circle).

High winds with 60-mph gusts blew in Boulder County on Tuesday, March 22 and were a hindrance to the firefighting efforts. Reports from United Press International noted that the wildfire now covers 1,200 acres and the containment is at 15 percent. The area is dealing with dry and windy conditions- which can lead to wildfires. On Thursday, March 24, a Red Flag Warning was in effect from noon to 8pm MDT, calling for gusty winds and low humidity. A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring or imminent.
